Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the ceasefire that mostly took hold in Syria on Saturday, but warned that Israel’s red lines remain there: it will not accept the establishment of a second terrorist front on the Golan Heights.

“We welcome efforts to achieve a stable, long-term, real ceasefire in Syria,” Netanyahu said at the start of Sunday’s weekly cabinet meeting. “Anything that will stop the horrible slaughter there is important, first of all from a humanitarian perspective.”

At the same time, he said, “it must be clear that any agreement in Syria must include ending Iranian aggression against Israel from Syrian territory.”
